Hi! Not much to write for today. We packed our stuff up and moved about 20 miles to a Pension in Mieming. We’ve unpacked our stuff — or more accurately, it exploded out of our cases. So we took a walk, ate some food and will head to bed shortly. Seems climbing the Kafelekar yesterday did us in.
We met and had a great visit with a man from southern Netherlands by the name of Arno. He and his wife and four kids are vacationing in Innsbruck. His family is fascinating on many levels. Arno is a polyglot, being fluent in at least four languages, though it may be six. The rest of the family is also multilingual, and the oldest son who is twelve is so fluent in English that his primary concern at present is his accent. Everyone plays instruments: Arno (French Horn) well enough to lead several regional orchestras. He’s also a horticulturist who publishes a journal for fellow farmers across Holland. We had a chance to satisfy some of our mutual curiosity about each other’s country and the bits of the world we have seen. Great time with some thoroughly impressive folks.
That closed out the day yesterday.
Tomorrow, we pick up the bike and start getting acclimated to riding in Austria. Can’t wait! And that’s it for today.
